I^I^ESI^^V^OE, 



The author of this modest publication 
thought that the great metropolis of the 
Mississippi Valley, a city of 500,000 inhabit- 
ants, was badly in need of a Guide worthy 
of the name, for the accommodation of the 
numerous visitors who come to the city either 
for business or pleasure. 

Having resolved to publish such a guide, 
his next object was to make it of real interest ; 
therefore drawings were made of various 
Parks and Public Buildings, and by the aid 
of the Photo-Engraving process the drawings 
were turned into engravings, so that the read- 
er, either visitor or resident of the city, besides 
gaining a certain amount of information from 
these pages, will have the most interesting 
points brought before his ejei 



Entered according to act of Congress in the year 1876, 

by CamilleN. Dry, in the office of the Librarian of 

Congress, at Washington, D. C.

HISTORIOAL SKETCH 



OF THE 



CITY OF SAINT LOUIS 



In the year 17B3 a party of ]?pnliit( inrn led by 
Pi-RRKE Leclede Liguet, Started frrm New Orleans 
in search of a suitable location for a tiadirg" p ist. 
After a wearisome voyage, which extended through 
fall and mid winter, they finally on the 15th of Feb- 
vnary 1764 arrived at this point, and their leader verj^ 
judiciously selected it for their future home, naraing 
it St. Louis in honor of Louis xv,the reigning mon- 
ai'ch of France and the Loulsianas. 

The settlers then commenced to build houses 
and trade with the Indians. They were soon joined 
by other adventurers, who came to share their good 
fortunes; so that the little colony became in a com- 
paratively short time quite a villag-e. 

A treaty having been completed between France 
and Spain ceding to the latter all the provinces 
l<nown as T>ouisianBS, St. Louis became a Spanisb 
posession, and it -vvas under that government that on 
the 6th of TMay 1780 the peaceable inhabitants had to 
resist their only attack by tbe Indians. Happily tbey 
were prepared to give the savages a warm reception, 
and after a severe fight forced them to retire, but 
fearing another assault, they strengthened their for- 
tifications, which had the <iesired efi'ect of keeping 
the enemy away for the future. 

After varioiis negotia;tions, on the loth of April 
1S03, the United States government bought from the 
■emperor KapoJeon thewbole of the Louisianas, and 
paid for it the sum of $1.5,000.000. It was not bow- 
seyer until the 10th of March 180t under the adminstra- 
tlon of President Jefferson tbat this government 
^received full posession of tbis ■|>ortion of the cod<>d

orders

the 

day 

received 

at 



'S 



territory . St. Louis was theu only a village of about 
1200 inhabitants, mostly of french origine, and con- 
tinued about the same until the close of the Indian 
wai'S in 181"), when suddenly a new impetus was giv- 
en in the shape of valuable immigration pouring in 
from Virginia, Tennessee and other eastern states. 
In the meantime Europeans emigrants coming- 
through New Orleans, it soon became evident to the 
intelligent St.Louisians that their village would soon 
become a town, and that for the town to become a 
city was only a question of time. 

On the -id of August 1817 the first Steamboat 
appeared on the mighty Mississippi. Thirty years 
later St. Louis haa telegraph lines connecting with 
the East, and 1848 brought the locomotive. 

In May 1849 a disastrous fire broke out on the 
levee, twenty-five steamboats and eight blocks of 
buildings were swept away, the losses amounting to 
$3,000,000. Then the cholera made its appearance 
carrying off many victims. These two elements of 
destruction taught the citizens the value of a fire de- 
partment and sanitary regulations. 

From 1850 to 1860 prosperity and popula- 
tion increased in a remarkable degree, but during 
the war everything was brought to a stand-still. 
Once the noise of cannon abated however, St. Louis 
began a race for supremacy with all the other cities 
of the west She has nobly taken the lead, and does 
not intend to let her rivals get ahead.

BRIDGE, l~-Q 

Coming to St. Louis from the East, y^ 
the traveler crosses this gr^iDcl and irapos- \ -^~! 
ing structure, th-e pride of the city, whose ' ^-z. 
completion sheds everlasting fame upon its ; ^ 
originator, the distinguished engineer, hH 
Captain James B. Eads, : >^ j. 

The whole length of the Bridge inclu- ! L ^J 
ding its approaches is 6220 feet, the bridge • 
itself being 2046 feet and the abutments q \ \ 
measuring 524 feet. *^ pH 

The rest is divided in three spans, two 3, >»*^ 
'of them 502 feet in length and the centre ^ w^ 
one 520 feet. ^ ^ (^ 

The brigde is two stories in height. ]3 ^^ 
the lower one is exclusively for the use of | ^ ^£^ 
railroad trains which go through the tunnel g- p^ 
•connecting with the Union Depot, the upper ^ 
one is for the use of vehicles of all descrip- ^ 
tions, and for pedestrians, whose enti^nce is 
at the junction of Washington avenue Jtnd 
Third street. Five cents will secure a walk , 

across, and a fine view of the river front ; ^ HH 1^ 
and of the great american bottom will be ' 
had, and a vivid impression is produced by q 
the activity of the moving panorama below^, Cj C/J 
steamboats, ferries, railroad trails, vehi- p2 n> 
'cles, etc., all of which owing to the altitude ' P, 
•of the bridge appear like mere toys. L^ 

The visit is on the M'hole healthy to (^ 
the body and instructive to the mind ; and i /-v 
the stranger in search of both should ^^-^ 
not fail to take advantage of these induce- f^ 
anents. -^

ture, the erection of which commenced iu 
1838. The work progressed slowly in the 
beginning, and after many changes made 
in the original plans, it was finally com- 
pleted in 1862, to the great satisfaction 
ot the ;St. Loiiisians who always point 
it out to visitors as one of the ornaments 
of the city. 

The building is fire-proof, stone and 
cast iron being the principal materials used 
in its construction. 

The entire cost of this editice was 
nearly $1,200,000. 

The interior of the handsc-me dome 
is decorated by fresco paintings represen- 
ting the early days of tiie city. On a clear 
day by ascending the dome, the best view 
of the city and vicinity may be obtained. 
In fact the view will repay the trouble of 
making the ascent. 

Now the stranger's attention must be 
turned to Bessehl's Fictorial Bazaar, which 
is at No. 5 Fifth Street, immediatly West 
of the Court House. His Picture Gallery 
comprises;, Oil Paintings of prominent

humoristic picture, Photographs of all 
Actors and Actresses, fine engravings, etc. 
The admission being free, the Visitor to 
St, Louis will not fail to see Hessehl's

Custom House. 




This building situated on the south-east corner 
of third and olive streets, was erected in 1859, on 
what was considered at that time as the centre of the 
business j)ortion of the city. 

The narrowness of the streets surrounding it pre- 
vent the passer by from observing and appreciating 
the architecture at its proper merit, but a close in- 
spection will redeem the first impression, and the 
visitor will agree that if nol beautiful, the building 
deserves respect for its commanding appearance. 
On Sundays the Post Office is open from 12 to 1P.M. 
at which time the corner of the streets fronting 
the building is covered by the thousands of mer- 
chants and business men oi St. Louis who are busi- 
ly engaged discussmg the latest news. 

Strangers go and look at them .

DESCRIPTION OF 



NE\¥ 



Custom HooscaoiiPost Office 



With the rapid growth of this oityjthe building 
now in use having proved for a number of years past 
inadequate to the wants and purposes needed for ihe 
transaction of the business at this point, the goveni- 
ment in 1872 'purchased the entire block bounded by 
Eighth and Nintli, Olive and Lociist streets, and 
U] ) on phius adopted by the supervising architect at 
Washington, the woi'k of excavating was com- 
mi-nced. 

Great ditficulties were experienced in getting 
satisfactory foundations. Some 4000 or nOOO piles 
had to be driven in the too soft soil, in order to make 
it more solid, upon this, the erection of tlie building- 
was started, the lower portion was built of Missouri 
red granite, and the part above ground of gray gran- 
ite from the east. 

The rest is composed mainlj^ of iron, so that 
the building will be entirely tire-proof. 

The estimated cost was $4,000,000, but owing 
t ) delays in appropriations and other causes it is 
thought that when finished, it will have cost at least 
$5,000,000. 

But then St. Louis will have a valltable addition 
to her architecture and a Post Office worthy of her 
size and future greatness. 

The mails will be distributed in the basement 
of the building, and this being on a level With the 
tunnel (where all eastern trains ]>ass) it will be of 
great advantage for handling incoming and outgoing 
mails. 

The engraving on tlie preceding page shows the 
building in its present stage, and m future editions 
it is proposed to keep up with its progress.

Located on Third, bet. Pine and Cl^estijut Streets, 

ST. LOUIS, MO. 

This buildiug designed by Messrs. Lee & Annan, 
is of modern Italian style. The tirst story being of 
Roman Doric order, and the npper stories of Com- 
posite order. The third street facade is broken or 
diversified in the central portion by isolated columns, 
extending throughout the several stories, and cul- 
minating at the main cornice in an imposing pedi- 
ment. The wings at either side and the Pine and 
Chestnut street fronts are treated with pilasters cor- 
responding in their details and carvings with the 
columns . 

That section of the building containing the Grand 
Hall is marked by semi-circle head windows, and is 
separated from the "office" building by open 
courts. 

The character of the building is one of simple 
dignity, depending more upon correct proportion and 
elegant detail for effect, than upon meretricious 



% 



OYnament and xiseless contortion of ootline. In this ' 

it correctly represents the character of the business 

men who dally assemble within its walls *=! 

One of the most serious di'awbacks that detracts ^ 
from the outward appearance of the building, is the 'm 

narrowness (^f Third Street, one of the oldest, as it is 

also one of the most compactly biiiit streets in the h^ ig 

«ity. The building committee jjartially obviated the § -^^ 
trouble by dedicating to public use a largely incrcas- 

ed width of pavement, removing in some degree the ^ jg^ M 

confined appearance so objectionable. ^1^ LJ 

The grand hall of this Merchant's Exchange has E< [TQ 

IK) where in this country a rival in point of magnitude g' ,t^ 

5ind architecturai beauty; it embraces 226 feet in (J5 ^ 

length, % feet in width and 70 fe«t in height, it is q IL 

lighted from all sides by 61 windows, arranged in P m 

^wo lines, the lower row beimg 10 feet by 26 In ttie i^ 

<clear opening, and the wpper 10 feet by 23. ^ 

A light galtery, supported by enriched bi-ack-ets ® :^ e ffi 

and consoles, extends around tlie room. 2 p . gt -. 

This gallery is for the use of visitors who desire ® S O (J 
to view from above the multitfide of merchants and m^ g go 

ti aders engaged in i he h' respective avocations. The ©2 

stranger who knows any member of th'C. exchange ^ la » 
■can, by appli-cation ?)e inti-odiiced on the floor of the (El. 

SuiU, but the galtery is of free access to all. ^ 

The ceiling which Measui'es 21696 squai^ feet was XH |^ 

-decorated by Messrs . Beeker & Sciepcevich. TSiese ^ 1^ 

artists divided th'e ceiling in three great panels, the i_, 1^ ^ 

middle one filled with Sgure grouping, typifying f\ '^ \1 

Americti with its teeming products, and the two oth- rt '^ CS 

%)'s with designs embiamatic of the nationalities of m ^ \J 

J-: urope, Asia and Africa. ^ *^ '

CATHEDRAL, 

The Cathedral is the oldest Church 
iu St. Louis . It was erected from 1832 
to 1834 upon the site ot the ancient 
First Church and Cemetery, built by 
the First Setlers of St. Louis. Though 
not (iuite a half Century old, its looks 
are considerably marred by the foot- 
prints of time. It was consecrated on 
the 27th of October, J834, by the Rt. 
Kev. Dr. l.'osMtli, Bishop of the 
Diocese. 

This Church is located on Walnut 
between Second and Third Streets.

CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS. 

St. Louis may justly be proud of lier numerous 
Charitable Institutions, for nowhere in the United 
Stales and probably in the world is the system of pub- 
lic and private Charities, so complete as in St. Louis. 
To commence with Hospitals ; There are a dozen 
institutions in which persons of both sexes and of all 
nges and nationalities daily find refuge in time of sick- 
ness and its attendant sulTering. 

These Huspilals have ample accommodations ; are 
lar^^e, well ventilated and cleardy kept. 

Large grounds surix)und them and they are alto- 
gether calculated to restore health to those who are 
'deprived of tli^e comforts of hom-e. 

CITY HOSPITAL. 
The nwst important of our charitable instiUitiuns 
is the City Hogpital,a view of which is on the opposite 
page. It was built by the city some 35 years ago 
and at first consisted of only tlie front building, but 
with the extraoi^inary gix)wtli of the city other addi- 
tions were necessitated in order that its capacity 
gnight corixispond with the needs of the increased pop- 
'iilation. As it no\v stands, accommodations are 
provided for about 600 patients, but the usual number 
•of cases on hand average 400, among those are rep- 
?iesentatives from all the civilised nations of the earth. 
Not only every state in the union, but Eui'ope, Asia 
and Africa furnish their quota. This fact sliows with- 
out a doubt what a point of con cent i^t ion is -St. Louis. 
The hospital is situated on a high, airy Ivx'atioD, 
its cleanliness is the admir-ation of all visitors and its 
neatly laid out gix)unds are pleasant to the eye. In 
short no pains arc spared to make the hospital attrac- 
tive, and for this much credit is due to the officer in 
'charge. 

To reach it, take the cars on Pine, tet 4th and Sth Sts., 
^hose whose signs read Union Depot and Lafayette Park- 



m 



INSANE ASYLUM 




The nbtrve engravmo: represents tlie City Insane 
Asylun>, situated on Arsenal Street Road, a short dis- 
tance from Tower Grove Park and Shaw'^s Garden. 

It is a larire, well-proportioned and very imposintr 
edifice. Situated on an elevated spot, standing "soli- 
tary and alone" in its grandeur, it may be seen, a 
prominent object, for miles around. 

The interior arrangements ^^^ll be found to fulfil 
the expectations aroused by the appearance of the exte- 
rior. It is divided into two departments : the Western 
half being occupied by the women and the enstern by 
the men, Every attention is paid to the comfort of the 
inmates, and v/hile it is sad to contemplate the afflicted 
of God's creatures who are deprived of the most prec- 
ious of all boons, the gift of reason, it is n source of" 
gratification to reflect that their bodily wants are so> 
well supplied, and that everf effort is made to soften as 
far as possible the hardship of their lot. 



POOR HOUSE^ 




Tli-e Poor House is situated gome 500 yards be= 
yond the Tnsan-e Asylum, at the jun-ction of Arsenal 
street Road and the old Manchester Road„ It is in this 
establishment that the 'city of St, Louis takes care of 
-imd supports the class of poor generally called* ^Paupers" 
5,hose who from debility, oH age, misfortunes or imbeeil^ 
ity of mind are not able to support themselves, and be=> 
Tome dependent upon the charity of the public for 
their existence. 

While here they are required to perform such 
labor about the building as is consistent with their 
strength. They are provided with wholesome food- 
the laws of cleanliness are strictly enforced, and the 
location of the institution pleasant and salubrious ; 
the?e circumstances combined unite to make the City 
Farm a refa;j^e where even honest poverty need not he 
ashamed to dwell.

MARINE HOSPITAL. 




The above engraving is a view of llie JMarine 
Hospital buildings ; a place where i-iver-men are takeo 
care of, wlien they are sick, or when lhey have mef 
with accidents in the discharge of their duties, 

Located on a beantifnl spot, overlooking the 
River and surronnding country, it is certainly well 
adapted to its purposes. 

This Hospital is situated in the sonthern portion 
of the city. To reach it, the visitor most take the 
fifth street cars going south^(St. Lonis Rail Road Co.) 
and ask the conductor to be put down at Marine ave. 
when a walk of three minutes will bring bim to the 
o-ates of the institntion.

OP ST„ LOUIS, 
The water system of St« Loois is one of the most 
complete to be found in this country. 

The Water Works are situated in the upper part 
of the City, three miles from the Court House, at the 
junction of Grand Ave and the Mississippi river. 

Visitors are admitted at all times, no permission 
being necessary to visit the Works, but the visitor is 
required to register his name in a book kept for that 
purpose. 

' These extensiveWorks comprise t 1st, Lower Ser= 
vice B. G. (see the engraving,) which has three low 
pressure engines to pump the water from the River 
Tower, A, into the settling reservoirs,where the water 
is allowed to settle from 8 to 36 hours according to its 
state of cleanliaeis. 

Engines ISTos.l & 2,of the Lower Service are cap- 
able of pumping 16,500,000 gallons each per day, and 
engine IVo 3, 25,000,000 gallons per day, 

2d- The settling reservoirs four 
in number, measure respectively 600 
feet in length, 270 feet in breadth, 
and 18 feet in depth, Sd. The High 
Service D, has also three low pres- 
sure engines of the same power as 
those of the Lower Service 

These engines pump the water 
from the settling reservoirs and force 
it up into the Water Tower which is 
situated on Grand ave., at the junc- 
tion of 14th Street. TheWaterTower 
is 160 feet in height^ being 76 feet 
_ higher than the Compton Hill 
$ Beservoir.

From this Tower tlie water is distrib- 
uted all over the city, through 18^^ niilns 
of pipes, ranging from 36 to 3 inches in 
diameter. 

i One main pipe 36 inclies in diameter 

carries water to theComptonHill reservoir 
located on Grand ave. near Lafayette ave., 




This Storage Resevoir is 800 feet long, 
j 400 feet wide, and 23 feet deep ; it has a 
[capacity of 60,000,000 gallons, which 
I would be sufficient in case of accident at the 
; Water Works to supply the City for three 
j days, the average daily consumption being 
I 22,000,000 gallons. 

j Strangers generally object to the mud- 

dy appearance of the Mississippi River 
water. This appearance is caused by the 
mixture of light sandy particles, but on its 
being allowed to settle, the water becomes 
comparatively clear and very palatable. It 
is said to keep longer and sweeter on a sea 
voyage, than the water of perhaps any 
other stream.

DESCRIPTSON OF 



FOREST PARK 



Extensive Parks, with well improved aveaue.'^ 
and bouvelads, lend tone tiiul attraction to a ciiy, 
and be!ng opea to tho use of all citizens alike, are a 
source of never-falling enjoyment to poor as well- as 
rich . They create a laudiihle emulation in the adorn- 
ing by trees and flowers of the homes of nil classes 
and exert a salutary effect upon the character of 
a people. 

The fine landscapes a. id scenery, the extent, 1372 
acres, the location and superb views, make Forest 
Park, the great park of St. Louis, It has six miles 
of parkways paved in a most substantial manner and 
13 miles of graded but Unpaved roads. Its roads and 
lawns are drained by miny miles of vitrified stone 
pipe. It has 20 bridges, some of them elegant anc] 
expensive structures. It h;is an ample supply of pure 
clear water for its lakes and otlier purposes, collect- 
ed from deeply seated wells in a caisson sunk to the 
depth of 31 feet, and forced into the lakes through 
graceful fountains. 

It has a fertile and genial soil, unsurpassed for 
the production of grass, flowers, shrubs and trees. 
The whole is crowned by a forest of noble growth, 
supplemented by more than lOOOOO rare trees Irom 
the nurseries of our own county and from tho&e of 
adjoining states. 

To reach the park the most e.ijoyable Avay is to go 
in a carriage, another way is to take the train of the 
North-Westevn Kail Road which starts from Union 
Depot, and passes through the ])ark.

LAFAYETTE PARK 



M ISSPURI AVENUt 




MISSISSIPPI AVE.NUe 



It has been often said of the Lafayette 
Park, that if it were set in the midst of 
Switzerland or some other part of Europe, 
toiiri.-ts would rave over it, as a gem of 
natural beauty and a triumph of landscape 
gardening Not h wit standing its absence 
of foreign flavor, we are happy in having 
such a spot in our midst. 



The Park comprises 30 acres of artis- 
tically laid out ii:roiincls, diversified by o^en= 
tie hillocks and pleasant valleys^ Well 
grave!led walks extend in all directions, and 
moss-grown rocks form inviting retreats. 

In the middle of the Park is an Arti- 
ficial lake, with water fowl sailing on its 
glassy surface and a plashing fountain in 
the centre. Here for a small sum, boats 
may be hired for a row on the water. Near 
the lake is a colossal statue of Benton, 
Missouri's greatest statesman. This statue 
is the work of Miss Hosmer, the American 
sculptress, 

On the south side is a copy of Houdon's 
celebrated statue of Washington. i)n the 
east and west sides are rustic bridges. caves, 
fountains and grottoes. Flower plats a- 
bound, and their gay colors charm the eye, 
while their sweet odors fill the air with 
fragrance. 

Here oq pleasant afternoons may be 
seen troops of romping children, On 
Thursday afternoons at 4 o'clock, commen- 
cing from May 1st a band of music '"dis- 
courses sweet sounds" to thousands of 
people. 

To reach 'he Park take the yellow 
cars on Fourth street, marked Lafayette 
Park ; or those marked Union Depot and 
Lafayette Park, which start from corner 
of Fourth and Pine gtreets.

SHAW'S GARDEN, 

A ti-ip to Shaw's Garden should be one of the first 
objects in a stranger's visit, as these beautiful Botan- 
ical Gardens are considered the finest in the United 
States. They contain about 40 acres, which are 
planted with almost every known Species of vegeta- 
tion. The walks and hot-houses are kept with the 
utmost neatness, requiring the constant attention of 
35 gardeners. The large conservatories on the 
north side contain the tropical plants; amongst these 
special attention is directed to a tree of great size, a 
very fine specimen of the Pandamus utilus , 25 feet in 
height and 18 in breadth. 

Standing on the terrace of the hot-house, one 
looks up through an avenue terminating in the sum- 
mer residence of Air. Shaw. Midway between this 
residence and the conservatory is a Pavilion, from 
which may be obtained a charming view of the sur- 
rounding scenery. 

One portion of the ground containing 6 acres is 
reserved for the Fruiticetum, or Experimental Fruit 
Garden, another of 25 acres is the Arboretum planted 
with every tree known to theAmerican climate proper 
ly labeled, and grouped with such systematic promis- 
cuity, that they would seem to be placed there by tha 
hand of chance, and not of art. 

These gardens have been under cultivation, un- 
der the exclusive superintendence of Mr. 3fcaw, since 
1857- They are maintained at his own expense, and 
he has signified his intention of bequeathing them to 
the city at his death. They are open daily free of 
charge. On Sundays a card of admission is required 
Avhich may be obtained on application to Mr. Shaw, 
at his city residence, corner of 7th and Locust Sts. 

Too much cannot be said in admiration of the 
patient perseverance, the untiring energy and the 
munificent generosity, which have combined to make 
these gardens what they are. The love of flowers is 
implanted in every breast, and he who has devoted 
nearly half a lifetime to planniug, arranging and per- 
fecting their growth as a gift to his fallow men, is a 
benefactor to his race.

DESCRIPTION OP 



TOWER GROVE PARK 



This Park is situatffl in the southwestern part of 
the City, about 300 yards from Shaw's Cavden. It 
was donated by Mr. Shaw to the City of St. Louis in 
the year 1SG8, and contains about 350 acres. It is one 
and a half mile in length, and one-quarter mile in 
width. There are about 4 miles of carriage roads, 
and 4 miles of graveled walks for pedestrians. 

The Paik is furnished with a music stand, and 
here on Sunday afternoons a band holds forth. The 
display of beauty, fashion and stylish turnouts on 
these occasions makes a brilliant panorama. 

The Park is well laid out with native and foreign 
shade trees, and adorned with bridges and Summer 
houses. In the west end is a pond, by the side of 
which is a mimic ruin of an ancient fortress. 

A yearly appropriafon of $25,000 is made by the 
Cit}'- to maintain this I*ark properly. 

Following are the names and location of the 
vsmaller Parks scattered throughout the City: 

Benton Park, Jefferson Ave. near Arsenal. 

Carondelct Park, Kansas and Gi'aud Aves.

DESORIPTION OF 

BELLEFONTAINE 

— AND — 

CALVARY CEMETERIES. 

If, as has been asserted, the refine- 
ment of the inhabitants of a City may be 
judged by the coudition of its cemeteries, 
8t. Louis does not stand in the back- 
ground ; for the care bestowed upon its 
beautiful resting places of the dead, is of 
the most praiseworthy character. Fine 
walks and drives intersect them, while 
forest trees and carefully tendered flowers 
embellish them. 

In point of size, Bellefontaine ranks 
first ; but both are adorned with many 
beautiful and costly monuments. 

Calvary, the Catholic Cemetery, ad- 
joins Bellefontaine ; but the principal en- 
trance is about three-fifths of a mile dis- 
tant, 

A card of admission is required to 
visit Bellefontaine, and this may be ob- 
tained on application at Cemetery office, 
second floor, N, E. corner 4th and Olive 
streets. 

To reach Cemeteries, take cars on 
5th street goiug north, which connect at 
Bremen avenue with the cars going di- 
rectly to their gates. 

I'here are about tw^enty-five other 
Cemeteries of minor importance located 
in the suburbs of the City,
